Edward Lee, who draws inspiration from fish when cooking, shared, “Growing up in the US, I ate a lot of Korean food, along with a variety of cuisines from America to Italy. But I always remembered the flavors of Korea and spent a lot of time trying to recreate them. There are so many diverse tastes and thoughts, but I always reflect on everything I see, everyone I meet, my life, and my history for inspiration. I always return to the taste of Korean food. The flavors of Korean cuisine are intertwined with my soul,” highlighting the roots of his creative cooking.

In the fierce culinary competition “Culinary Class Wars”, the hidden talents known as “black spoons” challenge the top star chefs, the “white spoons,” in a battle of culinary ranks. The show is currently available on Netflix.
